Going into this week, and this class, I was
rather cocky. In talking with friends who had taken the course, I had heard
that it was tough, but I arrogantly thought that I would be able to breeze
through. I mean, I had a slew of fantastic English teachers in high
school, what did I have to worry about? Well, it turns out, a lot.
Now, I am at a point where I must make a decision. I can either remain cocky or humble out a
bit. Experience tells me that “kicking
against the pricks” yields nothing but frustration and bloody toes. I believe I will choose to humble out and see
what I can’t learn this semester.
I realize that what I learned this week doesn’t really have
a whole lot to do with grammar rules and participles and other semantics, but I
feel like it is quite valuable, and I am committed to applying this lesson
across all spheres of my life.
Rock on.
Here is the song quoted in the title. Enjoy.
